Scope Magnification Range for the 9.3x62
02/03/10 01:51 PM

I'm having a 9.3x62 barrel made for my Empire Rifles take-down (a mate for the existing .30-'06 barrel) and I'm starting to look at scopes. I've been using a 3.5-10x40 Leupold VX-III with the B&C reticle on the .30-'06, which I think is a great match for the rifle and cartridge, and I'd appreciate some input on a scope for the 9.3 to try to get another good match.

Originally I was planning on using a 1.75-6 Leupold VX3 until I saw their 1.5-6x24 VX7. It's quite a bit more expensive but considering what I've got in the rifle & spare barrel it doesn't seem out of line. The tube on the VX7 is 30 mm. I'm not sure if that adds any real function, but it got me looking at the Leupold European 2-7. That scope seems to be a 30 mm version of the VX2 series and not the same quality as the VX3.

Anyway...I'm open to suggestions and Leupold's not the only brand I'd buy, it's just the one I'm most familiar with. I like having a scope that matches well with its intended use & cartridge (nothing makes me crazier than seeing a short-barreled "ultra-light" rig wearing a 6-18x50 scope) but I'm not experienced with the 9.3x62 and don't want to under-scope it (maybe a 2.5-8 is a better choice?).

Thanks in advance for your comments.
